Stabilising Lyme Regis – a strategic approach
conference contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 04:20 authored by Roger Moore, Geoff Davis, Matthew Stannard, Nick BrowningCoastal erosion and landslides have been a constant threat to Lyme Regis in West Dorset, UK for over 250 years. By the 1980s, the frequency and scale of coastal erosion and land instability had reached a point whereby the local council realised that a change from the previous ad hoc repair and protection approach was needed to secure the long-term future of the town. An environmental improvements initiative was developed from then onwards to provide a strategic and integrated programme of coast protection and cliff stabilisation measures designed to mitigate the increasing threat of climate change, coastal erosion and landslides, while respecting the site’s unique heritage and environmental interests. This paper outlines the background and principal phases of the project that have been successfully delivered over the period 1990–2015.
